American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior is a reality television show that aired on Discovery Channel. The show documents the lives of Paul Teutul Junior, Michael Teutul, and Vincent DiMartino as they struggle to keep their custom motorcycle shop, Orange County Choppers (OCC), afloat amidst a family feud with Paul Teutul Senior.

The show follows the daily operations and the construction of custom motorcycles by both senior and junior teams. Each team brings their own unique skillset and creativity to the table, resulting in fierce competition between the two. Often times, the final bikes are presented to clients who select their individual dream bikes, which have been designed and built by either senior or junior.

One of the key themes of the show is the tumultuous relationship between father and son, which is the reason why the family business was divided into two shops. At the start of the series, both senior and junior have not spoken in over a year, and their strained relationship is evident. Throughout the show, the father and son attempt to reconcile their differences and bring their family back together.

In addition to featuring the family dynamics, the show also reveals the challenges involved in operating a custom motorcycle shop. For instance, the shop has experienced financial difficulties that have forced the team members to make difficult decisions. One such decision was to layoff some of the crew members, which created additional conflict between Senior and Junior.

Mike Rowe serves as the narrator and host of the show, providing commentary on the events that occur, getting insights from both senior and junior, and interviewing other members of the team.

Throughout the series, the show features a range of guest appearances, including celebrity clients who order custom bikes, designers who assist with the creation of specialized bikes, and family members who provide their own unique perspectives on the situation. The show also features Jason Pohl, a talented designer who is a former student of Paul Teutul Junior's and an integral part of the OCC team.

Overall, American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior is a compelling reality television series that provides an inside look at the inner workings of Orange County Choppers, as well as the Teutul family dynamics. Viewers are treated to stunning custom motorbikes that are both creative and functional, as well as the challenges of running a small business. The show is packed with drama, conflict, and tension, which will keep viewers hooked and entertained.

American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior is a series that is currently running and has 4 seasons (72 episodes). The series first aired on August 12, 2010.
